The L.Ouxshoremen's Strike.

The LopgsIoremem's strike.
New YORK, Jan. 28.-Buslness on
the river front this morning is almost
completely paralyzed, with the ex-
ception of a small amount of freight
being moved by green hands on n or
two piers, very little work has been
| done on the docks of the principal
steamship companies since the strike
OF the longshoremen commenced.
The strikers are confident they will
succeed and gain their demands.
Their next move will be to get the
pilots on ocean steamship service to
come out. The pilots are organized,
and should the order go out for them
to quit work, the strikers hope to stop
all the Transatlantic steamers from
| sailing in or out of port. This the
| Union men claim will compel the
| steamship companies to come to terms.
| At the National line dock this morn
| ing 80 men, who were picked up from
| various sources, were laid of, as they
| were incompetent. The Wyoming
was being unloaded by non-Union
men and sailors of the vessel. The
latter were paid 80 cents per hour in
| addition to their pay as seamen.
| Green hands were Immediately taken
in charge by the members OF the Long
| shoremen's Union, and were organized
| and became a part OF the strikers
Union. The Erin is more than hall
loaded. She should have sailed yes
terday. BY Monday the vessel may
| be ready for sea. The Helvetia, OF the
| the same line, lies on the other side OF
| the dock with the bulk OF her cargo still
| aboard. Affairs were just about the
same at the Guion line docks. The
usual number of men employed there
is from $50 to 200.
A Railroad Wreck in Flames.
SANTA FE, n. NJ, Jan. 2S.-There
was a railroad accident on the Santa
Fe railroad this morning, v miles
south of Wallace, N. NJ. 1t seems
that a freight train, composed OF
| eight cars, broke in two about Is miles
north of where the accident occurred,
and the rear five cars went back down
the grade at a fearful velocity. The
north-bound Express was rolling along
at a speed OF 80 miles, and around u
| short curve struck the five freight cars
with terrific force, lifting the caboose,
and carrying it clear through the
| other cars. The wreck was immedi-
ately in flames, and the caboose and
freigth cars were entirely destroyed.
Engineer Murphy and his fireman
were both thrown from the engine,
and the former was badly injured.
The conductor of the freight train in
the caboose asleep, was thrown
through the roof and escaped without
a scratch. No others were injured
| seriously, although all the passengers
were terribly shaken up and fright
ened. Their escape was miraculous.
